Unlike a lot of people, I never hung out in a candy store. But I did buy comics and candy in one called Jitney's on E 188th. Where did you buy your comics & candy?

ANGELS Angels are the guardians of hope and wonder, the keepers of magic and dreams. Wherever there is love, an angel is flying by. Your guardian angel knows you inside and out, and loves you just the way you are. Angels keep it simple and always travel light. Remember to leave space in your relationships so the angels have room to play. Your guardian angel helps you find a place when you feel there is no place to go.
We hung at Tom's on the corner of Pilgrim and Crosby Aves and Bob and Jacks on Westchester Ave near Crosby Ave. Hey, Jack, bring me a frappe!!

The candy store that I used to go to was around the corner on Washington Ave, Next door to Lou & Mary's Grocery store. It was so long ago that I can't remember what it was called. It was so old that you had to fish for your favorite soda out of this huge Coca-Cola cooler. It was about 3.5 feet tall and half the size of a bathtub long. The guy would put all the sodas in and then completely cover them with Ice. If your soda wasn't near the top you had to stick your whole arm in there pulling can or bottle after bottle till you found the one you wanted. In the afternoon the Ice had melted allot and so you got to go fishing in Frigid water. It was pretty cool to say the least

Cat I think you mean the Grocery store on the Northwest corner of Washington @ 189th. There was a grocery store there that we used to call Al's. I would hang out there once in awhile because my Cousin Joey used to hang there with some of his crowd (older). I remember that when you walked in there was a Telephone booth immediately to your left. The counter was in the back of the store. You got to it by walking down one of the aisles of canned goods. Diagonally across from Al's on the Southeast corner Was Lou & Mary's (Known in those days as "Louie the Jew's") A nicer couple you couldn't meet. They were there right up until I joined the Navy in 67. Then they were gone. I wonder whatever became of them.
JOHNNY I HADDA LAUGH WHEN YOU SAID "LOUIE THE JEWS"....REMEMBER WHEN GOING TO THE "C****S" MEANT DROPPING OFF YOUR LAUNDRY? REMEMBER HOW THEY USED TO DO THE SHIRTS? THEY WERE NEVER ON HANGERS, THEY WERE FOLDED UP AND COVERED IN BROWN PAPER AND TIED.

Hi Laura, Davy Jones lives in a rural community about 32 miles away from me.I see him at local fairs, and he occasionally shows up at charirable causes.
Frank's Candy Store on Tremont Ave. near Harrison Ave. in the 60's. Of course, Luhr's Ice Cream Parlor on University Ave. across from the Park Plaza theater.
